We were anchored in the great bay be-

Of Venezuela. Before US was Coche-

like Coche, except that caCtii, thorny
shrubs, goats and the ruins of an ancient
Spanish town were added. We had alb
solutely nothing to do but to allow to
sink deep into our souls realizing sense
that our treasure-hunting expedition
was "wild-goose chase"
One day a Cubagua fisherman, from
whom | bought a lot of fish for my crew,
varied the dreary mOnotony of my exist
ence with an invitation to dine with him
and his family. They were not only
fishers, but manufacturers. In the proper
season they made a sort Of cocoanut-oil
soap, for use in salt water, that always
looked blue nodded and smelled worse
than asafGtida.
Their dwelling was in two parts; a
wet-weather place, stone walled, well
rooted and without windows, where the
smell reconciled one to the darkness and
the darkness rendered one indifferent to
the smell; and dry-weather place, clay
tloOred and covered with thick mat of
dried branches to exclude the sun. In
wet years they could not live in this lat
ter part of the house more than fifty
weeks out of the tifty-two, but when
was there it had been the family home for
almost two years. There they pursued
their household avoc ations by day and
swung their hammOcks at night, and
there it was that we took dinner. In
the centre of it was table, the legs
of which were driven deep into the clay
floor. At one end was raised hearth, with
some embers glowing upon it, before
which, in a slOping position, stood a
stone trough. \ young girl, with very

carried an armful of them down to the
beach, two rods away. First he rubbed
each one with handful of sand. Then
he took pile of them between his arms

where he swung them to and fro in the
water to get rid of the sand. 1t was the

STEAM YACHTS.
PLEASURE BOATS THAT NEED A
FORTUNE TO MAINTAIN THEM.


This question was asked the other day

has been shifting about from one side OF
the market to the other in Wall street
for few months past and invariably
managed to be on the right side at the
right moment 1t has resulted in build
ing him up fortune so suddenly that
he has not had time to do anything but
watch it grow, and now it is incumbent
upon him to spend it in order to evil
deuce his prosperity. He knew that
nothing would do this more effectively
than the purchase of steam yacht, for
that toy is the last luxury that men of
great wealth secure for their pleasure.
When city and country residences have
been built and furnished on palatial
plan, when the poor-house is hidden for
ever behind pile of millions, when the
title Money King has been applied to
him, then does the man of wealth look
about him to see if he can spare enough
from his resources to buy yacht. The
reply that this young man got therefore,
startled him:
"Oh, for $4,000 you can get very
fair thing, if you don't want a big boat"
The young man remarked that he did
not care to purchase Cunarder, and
then retired to the solitude of his own
thoughts and concluded to devote few
more months to getting on the right side
of the market before he called boat

| Aspinwall may be considered historically
responsible for its present growth. The
| first steam yacht in the country was built
by his father and called Fire Fly. 1t was
about fifty feet long and constructed
originally on a curious design which
made the propelling instrument paddle
wheel working in the very middle of the
boat in water-tight box. This idea
proved failure and the design had to be
modified. The interest aroused by the
Fire Fly set young John Aspinwall to
work, and although boy in his teens
he transformed f1at-bottomed boat into
steam yacht, having as an engine con-
trivance that generated steam by the use
of alcohol lamps. This was by no means
the last boat built by Mr.. Aspinwall, and
as he made year after year better and
better craft public interest in steam
yachts increased. Jacob Lorillard was
one of the first wealthy men to adopt the
new form of recreation, and since 1868 he
has had constructed for his use as many
as eighteen yachts. From time to time

one for period longer than one
season. He has two on his hands at
present, the Reva and Daring. Mr.
Aspinwall has built or had built from his
designs thirteen steam yachts, and the
boat he now owns is the Sentinel, a
beautiful vessel well adapted for every
purpose for which yachts are intended,
not only speed, in which it easily attains
fifteen knots an hour, but comfort, IN
which respect it is excelled by few even
of the greater craft. The Sentinel is
1OG feet long and is made of iron
1t is a curious feature of steam yachts
that although they cost tremendously to
build, it is seldom that one sells for half
what the owner paid for it originally.
A member of the American Club speak
ing OF this gave the writer the following
explanation:
"You see," he said, "when man
makes up his mind to have yacht he
naturally wants one that shall be after
his own ideas. One man wants speed,
another comfort; one wants a bathroom
arranged according to particular notion;
another has an idea that library is just
what will make boat perfect for him;
and third wants to have rosewood
trimmings on the companionway, or

PLAYFUL SQUIRRELS.
A Remarkable Pair of Frolicsome Pets
and Their Antics.

Two tame gray squirrels are the favorite
pets of an animal lover on Franklin avenue,
Scranton, Pa. The squirrels run about the
house like two kittens, and are obedient to
their master every time he tells them to 60
to their cage. He often takes them about
town with him, to their apparent pleasure
and satisfaction. Whenever he tells them
that they can go along, they skip up his legs
and crawl into the pockets of his sack coat,
where they nestle down until he enters a
store or saloon. Then he orders them to
come out, and they hurry from his pockets
and caper about the room until he gets
ready to leave. Their antics and their ODE
dience interest and amuse everyb body who
sees them. Each squirrel has his own par
ticular pocket to get into, and they have
been so well trained that neither ever tries to
get into the pocket that belongs to the other.

builder into consultation. He saw clearly
that steam yachting was truly dis
tinctive enjoyment and sport of the
tremendously rich; that while in other
respects man of moderate fortune or
even good salary might successfully
initiate the features of life that are
generally supposed to typify wealth,
that he might dress as well as Wander
bilt, go to the opera like an Astor and
live on Fifth avenue like Gould, there
could be no fooling with steam yacht;
that that form of ostentation could not be
slammed. For it is the most exclusive
kind of recreation that the world has
ever known. 1t has only arisen within
a few years, or since men have sue
ceeded in piling up wealth to such a
height as to justify and make necessary
the discovery of new form OF pleasure
that should eclipse anything that mad
preceded it.
And yet it is quite possible for men of
moderate means 10 get much OF the fun
out of steam yachting if they will aban-
don all hope of being in style while they
are about it. For The immense expense
of boats of this class comes mainly in
the furnishings. A small boat, say
thirty-tive feet long, may be obtained for
two or three thousand dollars and be
quite capable of taking several people
on pleasure cruises on rivers, in bays
and sounds, and along the coasts. The
same boat adapted TO the requirements
of fashionable yachting could be made
to cost upward OF $4,000 without any
more thought than little word
whispered into the ear of the builder;
and even then its size would prevent it
from taking anything more than very
insignificant place among the pleasure
craft of its class. Even the Stiletto,
which is usually spoken Of as 1.-The little
Stiletto," is ninety-four feet long over
all, and ninety on the water-line. And
it was very expensive boat to build,
too. There are few steam yachts
whose water-line measurement does not
much exceed fifty feet that take re-
spectacle place among the toys OF the
wealthy, but their expense is vastly
greater than their size would seem to
indicate Among these are the Rover,
owned by Morris K. Jessup, of Newport,
R. l., and the Xantho, owned by j. B.
Watkins, of Lake Charles, La. These
are good boats, and with their costly fur
nishings required big sums of money to
make ready for use. But it is not the
initial expense alone that marks the aris-
